Ricky Gervais delivered a powerful message – If we’re not too dumb to understand it….

Posted on January 6, 2020April 2, 2020 by G

Sometimes the tide turns in the most unexpected of places and in the most surprising of ways. I have spent the evening watching Ricky Gervais taking a sword to the Hollywood elite. It was his fifth and final time to host the Golden Globes and with the unerring timing of the world class comic that…

Can someone tell Kelly-Anne’s husband to Shut his Damn mouth?

Posted on January 4, 2020January 11, 2020 by G

I want to start this piece by writing down the words Kelly-Anne Conway. She is the important one after all. As many will know she serves as counsellor to the President of the United States. Regularly between the cross-hairs of the media as an adviser to the President. For those with only a passing interest…

Qassem Soleimani: Is this the Trump decision Nancy Pelosi has been praying for?

Posted on January 3, 2020January 11, 2020 by G

Republicans of the populist right in the US have a phrase they sometimes use about Nancy Pelosi. ‘ A master political strategist ‘ Well….when I say Republicans I largely mean Steve Bannon on his War Room: Impeachment podcast. Some of the contributors on the show slightly bristle at his use of the description. Watching some…

A Christmas Carol on the grey mile for a homeless Dubliner

Posted on December 24, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

Ghost of Christmas Present: If he’s like to die, he better do it and decrease the surplus population. Charles Dickens: A Christmas Carol   It’s quiet on the corner of Luke and Poolbeg street on the weekday nights. That’s the main reason I like it. Not much competition or trouble. Another plus.  It’s the best place to…

1990 – A New York Summer filled with Donald Trump and Darryl Strawberry

Posted on December 20, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

I spent the summer of 1990 in New York. Nassau County on Long Island to be exact. I was 16 years old and it was a mixture of vacationing and part-time work. 10 years previously my parents had made the decision to leave Long Island and return home to Ireland. So this trip in 1990…

Farage hands Tories their biggest win since Thatcher. Remember to say thank you Boris….

Posted on December 13, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

In an election with one central issue it is perhaps fitting that the scale of the Conservatives victory lay in one pivotal decision. In an election like no other, the winning chess move was made not by Boris Johnson but by Nigel Farage. It’s a huge win for the Conservatives but so too a subtle…

A Hypocrisy that kills Joe Biden’s campaign dead and fuels President Trump’s

Posted on December 11, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

Speaking plainly –  Joe Biden is fucked. I am not sure why he doesn’t seem to realise it. Harsh language and I do apologize but true nonetheless. It is pretty simple. The video of him openly bragging about severely pressurizing the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor, means he can never, ever beat Trump in…

The Royal Court of Pelosi and the False Urgency of Now

Posted on December 5, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

The House of Representatives impeachment inquiry finally ground to a halt with an embarassing thud yesterday on foot of the testimony of 4 academic law professors. Four individuals with absolutely no direct or even indirect personal knowledge of  the matters to hand. But sure, the value of evidence has long since passed it’s sell by…

The New York Times need to STOP using ‘People Familiar with the Matter’ as a source

Posted on November 27, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

  Today, I am going to highlight some of the reporting issues, as I see it, in modern  main-stream media. Particularly how ambiguous quotes are fashioned into facts to feed a particular narrative. Both sides do this a lot. But Today’s focus will be on how news publications misuse sources and source material. A new…

Rudy Guiliani: A great man striding back into the arena

Posted on November 24, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

” The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity” – Lucius Annaeus Seneca   Let me start this piece with a simple belief of mine. Rudy Giuliani is a great man. It feels weird to me that in the current political climate this needs to be explained to…

Trump Impeachment is like Clinton’s except where is the blow-job?

Posted on November 20, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

I have been struggling to write for the last two months. These bouts of publication inertia have happened before and alas I’m sure will occur again. Readers familiar with my writing over the past three years will recognise that I frequently move from penning sporting pieces and interviews to wider more social topics. Frequently, I…

Jim Gavin: The GAA’s answer to Billy Walsh

Posted on August 17, 2019January 11, 2020 by G

The highest compliment I can pay Jim Gavin is that he is the closest thing we have to a Billy Walsh in the GAA. The best tribute I can offer to Dublin GAA and CEO John Costello is that they embody the spirit of a Gary Keegan and the idealism that led to the creation…

I was wrong about Fabian Edwards.

Posted on May 4, 2019May 5, 2019 by G

3 months ago I made the mistake of kinda saying Fabian Edwards would lose his next fight. It was the type of provoking facebook post that is my wont from time to time. But to be fair I believed it. So I guess it’s only fair to admit that I was wrong. Badly. Edwards had…

The Welterweight Battling Demons older than most of his opponents

Posted on April 26, 2019April 27, 2019 by G

If you just looked at Simon Loughlin’s photos on Facebook you’d find another good-looking MMA welterweight with a pretty perfect set of Abdominals and think to yourself…Life’s too easy for some fuckers…..and with the help of God he’ll get struck down with an addiction to Smokey bacon burgers. If you follow Simon’s Facebook posts though…
